Post Office Needed

This letter is in regard to the impending closing of the Zionsville Post Office. This post office covers a large area, and many new homes have been built here in the past 10 years.

If we must economize, why is it always the little people who have to sacrifice? For a change let's start economizing in Washington, D.C. For instance, why should the taxpayers have to pay for "Tip" O'Neill's trip to Ireland to see what Congress could do to settle the conflict there? No one asked him to see if he could do anything, and why did it take 18 people to spend $118,330 to do nothing?

If we housewives handled our budgets the way government does, we would have starved long ago. We do not have any taxpayers to pick up the tab when we run out of money.

Let's see if Congress can do anything for the American people before they try to help all the other countries who have no use for us anyhow. They kill our people and destroy our property.

Let's see if we can't get our country on its feet and on the right track again.
